the very beginning of this case, I knew that what was going on in New Mexico was absolutely ridiculous. Jeffrey Epstein didn't just happen to fall into New Mexico. He didn't just happen to choose Stanley, New Mexico, right outside of Santa Fe. By accident. It was done specifically, and there are several reasons why. Now we know that he wanted to be closer to the Santa Fe Institute and to some of his other scientist buddies at Los Alamos. But there was more. The fact that Jeffrey Epstein did not have to register as a sex offender in New Mexico most certainly played into the motivation of him purchasing that ranch in the first place. We know that him and Ghislaine Maxwell and their handlers were playing the long game. We know that these people weren't just making snap decisions. They had a blueprint laid out and they followed it to the T. And the fact that New Mexico was a place where you do not have to register as a sex offender if you've committed in another state on certain levels is part of their plan, right? New Mexico just happened to be the perfect place for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and their handlers to run this operation in middle of the desert, nobody around, all kinds of secrecy, access to several airports, access to a vibrant scientific community, and the cherry on top, his perverted ass doesn't even have to register. And still to this day, New Mexico has not fixed their laws. And I don't want to feel like I'm jumping on New Mexico as a whole, right? Because I really enjoyed my time there. When I was in Santa Fe. The time that I spent in, you know, the old downtown area of Santa Fe and Albuquerque had some cool spots. And it's a beautiful place if you're into the Southwest, and I most certainly am. So I don't want to act like, you know, the people of New Mexico are all kinds of screwy, but the politicians in New Mexico, they all need to be checked. This is abhorrent that this guy, that such a prolific offender didn't have to register within the state. And to top that off, here we are a year later, longer than a year later, I mean, and still no raid of Zorro Ranch. Still nothing. And according to the local authorities, oh yeah, we have an investigation running, but we've seen nothing of the sort. And like I reported back in February when I was in New Mexico speaking with sources about Zorro Ranch and what occurred there and what allegedly occurred there. It was pretty common knowledge to people that were around the city of Santa Fe and the surrounding area that Jeffrey Epstein was a gross son of a bitch. And they always knew that he was there too, because of the light pollution from people partying at the ranch. So people in town knew what the deal was with Epstein. People understood that he was a gross bastard. And they also understood that somehow, some way, hint, hint, money, Jeffrey Epstein was able to finesse a lot of the high top politicians in the state. And there he, he had his own little fiefdom down there in Stanley, pretty much right? Private property, all those acres, nobody around, his own private security force. Helicopters to fer people in and out under secrecy. And still we're sitting here wondering what's the real story about Zorro Ranch and New Mexico. We haven't even got past the surface of what was going on in the deserts of Stanley, New Mexico. Folks, there's a lot more here, and I don't, I'm not gonna, you know, take any giant leaps or anything, but New Mexico is a place where there is a serious problem with sex trafficking and especially indigenous girls going missing. And it's a, it's scary to think how many girls that were caught up in this whole entire ordeal are unnamed. And when you look at the desolation that Zorro Ranch offers, it's a scary, scary thing to think about. So let's jump into our article here from KOAT Action News. It's a local New Mexico station and this article was first published July 11th of 2019. The headline Jeffrey Epstein did not have to register as sex offender as after setting up Stanley residence. Isn't that nice? Sure makes you feel comfortable if you're living in Santa Fe, huh? Or if you're living in Albuquerque or any of the surrounding areas. And Santa Fe is a pretty affluent community, folks.

mean it's not a very big place, but it's not a cheap place to live by any means and there is a vibrant rich community there, artists, etc. Etc. So I mean, imagine you're one of these people. You could spend two, three million dollars on a piece of property and you find out that people can move there from other states who are sex offenders and not have to register. Talk about picking up shop and moving asap. This article was authored by Christine Pay Billionaire financier, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender in Florida, was set to be registered as one in New Mexico when he planned to come to the state years ago, according to documents obtained by Target 7. All right, sounds kosher so far, right? He was. He was going to register in New Mexico when he planned to come, according to these documents that were obtained by the reporters, and everything was on pace to be how it should be.

Bobby Capucci
That's called a loophole. And how many times am I railing about loopholes? The justice system is nothing but loopholes created for scumbags like Epstein, his bagmen, his handlers, and the other dirtbags that move in so called polite society so that they can navigate the laws so that they can play on a different field than the rest of us. It goes back to Epstein setting up a residence in a luxury mansion near Stanley years ago. Records obtained from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office show Epstein listed the mansion as his New Mexico address in 2010. Now remember, that was after he was already convicted. So if you're living in a place with normal laws that care about the community and care about keeping the community aware of the sort of people that might have access to their children, well then, you know, you might want to hear About Jeffrey Epstein moving into the neighborhood or becoming a resident. But because he didn't have to register, nobody knew. The change of address pinged Florida law enforcement to give the New Mexico department of public safety a heads up saying Epstein intended to move or visit the state. Now, we know Florida has been absolutely derelict in their duty when it comes to prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein or holding him or his co conspirators accountable for what they did. But at least they had the good sense to call the new Mexican law authority and let them know that Epstein had changed his address, he was a sex offender, and they might want to update their registry as well. Florida officials notified New Mexico DPS on July 22, 2010 that Epstein was a convicted sex offender from a 2008 case in Florida involving procurement of a person under 18 for prostitution. Yeah, you're a sex offender, homie. I don't know how anyone can finagle that.

But I guess when you have the notorious one, Mr. Naked volleyball playing I kept my underpants on Dershowitz, all is possible, right? When you have that man as your lawyer, well, you are hooked up, and you will not have to register as a sex offender in New Mexico, especially. I mean, you know, Alan Dershowitz is your guy, right? He knows everybody. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. The next day, New Mexico DPS sent Epstein a letter stating he must register as a sex offender in New Mexico, and before doing so, must provide the Santa Fe county sheriff's office with the judgment and sentence regarding your sex offense. Your sex offense conviction. So they send him this the next day after they receive the information from Florida about Jeffrey Epstein being a convicted sexual offender with a charge of procuring someone under 18 for prostitution, which is ridiculous on its face, and for another conversation at another point, I guess. But we all know that that is not what he should have been in jail for or convicted of. But by August that year, a second letter from the New Mexico dps stated Epstein no longer had to register. Yeah, you know, no big deal. No big deal, Jeff, you come here. We know that you're a good guy. I mean, you threw a bunch of money around in our elections here. You and Bill Richardson are homies. Mr. Bill Richardson, who runs New Mexico like it's his own little kingdom. Yeah, the same Bill Richardson that's being credibly accused of partaking in Jeffrey Epstein's sordid affairs, by the way. Yeah, that Bill Richardson and that New Mexico. It turns out Epstein's Florida prostitution conviction involved a girl age 17. And the rules are different when it comes to that particular offense in New Mexico. You don't think Jeffrey Epstein knew this in 2010 after his conviction? You don't think that he knew that he could not register as a sex offender, thus change his address to New Mexico? Furthermore, when the prosecutors first had this case in Palm beach, there was girls much younger than 17 that were abused by Jeffrey Epstein. But instead of they went with the girl who was 17. So it looked like Jeffrey Epstein could have been faked, could have been fooled, it was the girl's fault. I'm so sick of that bullshit with these people. All the time, the same toads, the same serpents, the same story. While in New Mexico we expressly disapprove of such conduct as specific to this case. The determination made when someone must register in New Mexico and is a fact based inquiry. A New Mexico DPS spokesman said in an email statement. Folks, you see here what the problem is here, right? The problem is the people who write the laws. I will take every opportunity to hammer that point home here on the show because these people who are creating these laws and then putting them into place are the real problem. These scumbag lawyers, these scumbag political elite that we keep on sending to write these laws locally and to D.C. continue to do disgusting and dirty shit like this, like telling us, oh, he doesn't have to register because, oh, she was just 17. And you know, that's, that's what we have on record here. Meanwhile, we all know the story, we all know the girls were 14. And it all goes back to that horrible plea deal and the original prosecution in Florida that has become such a thorn in the side of getting justice in this case that I can't even tell you how much it has infected things. The spokesman said in comparing the varying state laws between Florida and New Mexico, it was determined at the time that because the victim was not under the age of 16, Mr. Epstein does not have a registration requirement in New Mexico, according to New Mexico dps. And again, we go back to Dershowitz, Ken Starr, Gerald left court, et cetera, et cetera, finessing the prosecution the first time around and making sure that these girls weren't these young girls that were under 16, 15, 14, weren't the ones that Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of abusing. And the fact that the only charge that he got was the one that he did get that first time around, it just goes to show you how corrupt it all was. And I really hope the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals feels the same way. And they throw out the Whole entire baby with the bathwater folks. And if that occurs, if that non prosecution agreement goes by the wayside, if it's, if it's cons, if they find that it was put into place illegally, then all bets are off and all of these people are gonna be really scurrying for cover. Then the New Mexico Attorney General's office said it is also investigating Epstein's case and has been in contact with survivors. Well, I don't know about that. I haven't heard anybody talk about the New Mexico portion of this case. As far as survivors go, I mean, they might have been in the beginning or with their lawyers or something like that, but I don't honestly. You want my honest opinion and I'll. I'll give it to you. I don't believe there is a vigorous investigation because going on by the state of New Mexico right now, I think that they're relying way too much on the feds here. And I think that they're scared to ruffle feathers locally with some of the high profile politicians that are involved.

I mean, I, you know, I haven't heard anything about the survivors being contacted by these guys, but it sure looks to me that New Mexico is not taking this as seriously as they should. And if I was the Attorney General of New Mexico, this would be a pretty serious investigation in my book, and I would have raided the property. You don't need the feds to raid that property. You can pull a state warrant, go to a local judge, get a warrant and kick the door in. But in my opinion, what's going on here is they're so corrupt, the high level politicians in New Mexico and the power players in New Mexico, that they won't let this occur.

currently faces federal charges of sex trafficking out of New York and Florida. Well, we know that he is no longer with us anymore, so that's not the case. But he was facing those charges of sex trafficking out of New York and Florida, right? But nowhere did they say out of New Mexico. How come? New Mexico has always been left out of all of these charges, out of the bigger conversation? In my opinion, that's because there's something more there that they still don't want us to know about. What that is, I have no idea, folks. But my fascination with New Mexico and Zorro Ranch started early on in this case. And so much so it spurred me to go down there and investigate the place in person. And I'm planning another trip at some point when this craziness dies down. But there is more story there. There is a lot more going on in New Mexico and that veil of secrecy has to be pulled off at some point. We have, we have contacted the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York and will be forwarding additional evidence to federal authorities for proper action. AG's office spokesman Matt Baca said. So again, it's all about the federal case, right? The federal case. The federal case. The federal case. Well, why is the Virgin Islands running their own investigation? I think that New Mexico should be running their own investigation. We know that Florida is internally looking at what's going on here. This case is being prosecuted right now in New York. So I'm sure that, you know, we can consider that locally there as well. But the only place where we don't have a robust investigation, a robust look at what is going on, what went on and how it occurred is in Zorro Ranch, New Mexico. My question for all of you is, and I know it's rhetorical at this point, but the question is why?

Up, everyone. And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest travesties when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein and the aftermath of his arrest and Ghislaine Maxwell's is the fact that there was never a real investigation in New Mexico. Now, of course, they said that they were looking into what was going on and that they were probing for potential crimes, but we all know that many, many crimes occurred on that property according to these girls who were abused. So the question becomes, what other crimes were being committed at Zorro Ranch as well? My guess, there were plenty of others. What? There are no schools in Santa Fe or Albuquerque for these, these goons to go and look for young girls to bring to abuse. And don't even get me started on the whole situation with the missing indigenous people within New Mexico. That's a real big problem with no resources showing up to help. So when we talk about New Mexico and Jeffrey Epstein's crimes down there, there really was never an all encompassing investigation of like there should have been. And my question is very simple. Why? Why didn't Attorney General Baldis dive deeper into the Epstein crimes and have a parallel investigation? What would it hurt to have a parallel investigation going at the same time that the federal investigation was going? That way the state and the citizens of the state know that they had their interests looked after, that their state and their reputation for their estate has been safeguarded. Instead, what we have is Jeffrey Epstein coming to New Mexico, not having to register as a sex offender and still using this ranch to abuse people. Oh, and did I mention it was never raided? Can you imagine that? Say a Mafioso who owns 10 houses, five houses, whatever, gets arrested and they don't raid one of the properties. Does that sound like real life? Well, that happened with Epstein when he was arrested. Every single one of his houses should have been raided concurrently at the same time. That way evidence didn't walk away like we saw in one of the cases. You have an FBI agent admitting on the stand that Richard KH, one of Epstein's lawyers and accountants, went into the house after the raid and left with hard drives. Oh, sure, they got the hard drives back, but they can't tell you if anything is corrupted on there. They don't know what's been erased, if anything has been, because it wasn't in their possession. Now, why wouldn't you raid Zorro Ranch? You don't think he has anything incriminating there? There might not be more hard drives there. There might not be more evidence there. My guess is there was plenty. So why didn't the state have this concurrent investigation? Why didn't they go after Jeffrey Epstein at the state level like they should have? Well, let's get into this article from the New Mexico Political Reporter and the headline, AG looking into potential Epstein crimes committed in New Mexico. This article was authored by Matthew Reichbach and it was originally published in July of 2019. Attorney General Hector Balderas office is looking into whether convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein committed crimes in New Mexico, which is absolute B.S. sorry, I find that to be absolute B.S. because you don't have to look very hard to find the crimes. I mean, you have to literally be Stephen A. Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller at the same time to miss these crimes. Unless, of course, you're not looking for crimes and you're just trying to massage the public and tell them that's what you're doing. Because that certainly looks to be the case. The newly renewed attention on the New York financier pedophile came after investigative work by the Miami Herald. And doesn't that strike you as gross? By the way, it took the Miami Herald to get back involved in this case for anyone to get involved. So what were they doing over at Cy Vance's office at the New York State Attorney's office? What were they doing at the sdny? And what in the hell were you doing? Hector Balderas over here in the New Mexico Attorney General's office? Doesn't seem like anyone was doing anything. And resulted in new federal charges on sex trafficking thanks to a sweetheart deal from Alex Acosta. You mean from the federal government of the United States, Mukasey and the rest of them, as well as Acosta, who announced Friday morning that he would resign from his position as US Labor Secretary amid criticism of the plea deal. Epstein only served 13 months in county jail and was Grounded, granted work release. The deal was kept sealed, including from his survivors. Now, we know that that is just completely out of line as well. And as an Attorney General over here in New Mexico or anywhere else looking at this case, you would think that that would launch you into action, right? Oh, all of these girls have been abused, all of this is happening in my district or blah, blah, blah, and I'm not doing anything about it. I better get busy here. But no, that didn't happen. Instead, oh, we'll just punt it to the federal government who's already screwed this up. Last week, the federal government charged Epstein with sex trafficking. The indictment says Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his home in Manhattan, Manhattan, New York and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. In addition to the homes listed by prosecutors, Epstein owned and perhaps still owns Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Yes, he does. And look, when they say other properties, where do you think they were talking about? Do you think they were talking about his retreat up on the moon? No, they were talking about Zorro Ranch, the place in Paris, the cabin and elsewhere. So where is the all encompassing investigation here? What are you guys so worried about uncovering in New Mexico? Does it have anything to do with Mr. Bill Richardson, who is still acting as a representative for the current regime? By the way, pretty disgusting that the Biden team would send Bill Richardson, who is being credibly accused of rape by Virginia Roberts, to be a voice for anybody, but here we are. So is that the, the crux here? Why you don't want to go after him? Bis, do you not want to expose Richardson and the King family again? These are just questions that I have and we have not had any answers yet. And that ranch is where Balderas's office is looking into allegations. As the. As the Santa Fe New Mexican reported, Bald's office says they have been in contact with survivors. We have contacted the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York City and will be forwarding additional evidence to federal authorities for proper action. Baldera's spokesman Matt Baca said. I mean, really. So let's just punt it to the feds. Why wouldn't you run a concurrent investigation? Nobody can answer that question for me.

You're doing. A defamation suit against high powered attorney Alan Dershowitz also included a reference to Epstein's ranch. Maria Farmer said she and her then 15 year old sister were molested by Epstein and a companion in 1996. In a sworn affidavit, Farmer said Epstein flew the 15 year old sister to his ranch in New Mexico. Farmer said she reported the sexual assault to the FBI at the time, but the FBI did not take any action against Epstein. Why would they? All goes back to the theory that Epstein was a protected informant for the FBI, the CIA and insert three letter agency here. On Thursday, the Santa Fe Reporter reported that Epstein was removed from New Mexico's sex offender registry in 2010. Epstein's removal came two days after he was placed on the list. In August, after his guilty plea, he is on the sex offender registries in both Florida and New York. So in New Mexico, not only was his house not raided, they took him off the sexual offenders registry. So why hasn't anybody been going crazy about that? Nobody has any questions for the authorities in New Mexico. Okay, I guess. The Santa Fe Alt Weekly said his removal came because of the differences between laws in New Mexico and Florida, since the victims in the case Epstein pled guilty to were not under the age of 16. The State Department of Public Safety told the Santa Fe County Sheriff that Epstein did not need to appear on the registry. Must be nice. Yeah. But Jeffrey Epstein, he didn't choose New Mexico for a reason or anything, right? Just happened. All the places he could spend this money on a ranch happened to be this place.

Epstein had ties to New Mexico. In addition to his ranch, Epstein donated $50,000 to the re election campaign of Governor Bill Richardson in 2006, $15,000 to Gary King in 2006 for his run for Attorney General, and $10,000 to Jim Baca in his 2006 campaign for State land commissioner. The candidates, each Democrats, donated the money to charities or returned the money. So you have him here donating to a man named Jim Baca and the person giving the statement, he is also named Baca. My guess is they're related. Look, you couldn't even make this shit up if you were writing some kind of half assed novel. Companies connected to Epstein also donated more than $30,000 to King's unsuccessful 2004 gubernatorial campaign. King returned the contributions another of Epstein's companies had donated to other candidates, including Richardson. Previously, the candidates returned or donated the money. Epstein bought Zorro Ranch from the family of former Governor Bruce King and in 1993, Gary's father. Epstein has ties to a number of powerful and influential people, including former President Bill Clinton, current President Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz. So, folks, again, what is going on in New Mexico? Why wasn't there a concurrent investigation? And how can they look at themselves in the mirror and be okay with what they did down here? Because obviously a lot of girls were victimized, a lot of women were victimized, and there has been no justice. And it doesn't seem like any is coming in New Mexico. So my question is, and I'll leave it for you to ruminate with, why wasn't there a concurrent investigation being run in New Mexico?

What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles on this look back episode. We're going to take a trip down to New Mexico and we're going to explore why charges were never filed in the state against Jeffrey Epstein. This article was published by New Mexicopoliticalreport.com and it was published in 2019. The author of this article is Jeff Proctor. No Epstein indictment here for now. Investigators with the New Mexico Attorney General's office plan to turn over any information they gather about alleged sex crimes committed here by Jeffrey Epstein to federal prosecutors as soon as possible. A spokesman for the AG says. Yeah, how did that work out? How'd that investigation, the statewide investigation down in New Mexico work out? Oh, that's right. There never was one. Nobody ever raided Zorro Ranch. Nobody showed up there and kicked in any doors. Maybe if Epstein was selling crack instead of trying to sell humans, people would have shown up. But unfortunately the priorities all over the board are screwed up and down in Mexico. It certainly is no different. It's laughable at this point, honestly, that there's no state investigation into Epstein or his ties. And in my opinion a lot of that has to do with how corrupt things are down in New Mexico. That means for now, Attorney General Hector Balderas team is working as fact gatherers for the U.S. attorney's office in the Southern District of New York where Epstein pleaded not guilty last week to charges of sex trafficking of minors and sex trafficking conspiracy. Says Matt Baca, senior counsel for Balderas office well the crimes that were committed in New Mexico, we've only scratched the surface. We've only heard from some of the more, you know, out front survivors. What about the girls we've never heard of? And you mean to tell me that Epstein wasn't engaging in the same sorts of things he was engaging in in New York and in Florida, bringing young girls from schools and elsewhere to the ranch? Of course he was. But when you don't have an attorney general or a legal office in the state that is willing to go hard and willing to put in the miles to figure out what happened, then this is the result. They kick the ball down the road, they punt it away and they hope somebody else takes care of it. At this point it's primarily been communication between the two offices, baca tells Santa Fe reporter in New Mexico in depth on Wednesday. As soon as we're done or at a place where we feel we have significant investigative materials to turn over to them, we plan to do that. You know what, someone should file a Freedom of Information act against the state government in New Mexico and try and get access to everything that they're supposedly sending over to the feds. Because it really makes me sick to see the way things went about here in New Mexico, especially considering when you look at the horrible rate of abuse for native women and minority women in the state of New Mexico. They have an abhorrent track record. So how many of these trafficked women to Epstein or otherwise have never had a say? How many of them have never had their moment to stand up and say hey, this happened to me. So the fact that there's no state investigation in New Mexico is just mind boggling. And I really can't figure out how that it could be possible that they can in their brains think it's a good idea not to have a state investigation. He says the AG isn't working on an indictment here, but noted nothing is off the table in terms of. In terms of a possible, of possible state level charges. Well, there's nothing being worked on because your boy Bill Richardson.

Because of the Kings, because of all of the other power players in New Mexico that are probably, and again, this is my speculation, by the way, probably pressuring the AG's office not to dig further. They don't want their ties unwrapped. Right. And how many of these people who were power players in New Mexico were playing with Jeffrey Epstein? We know that the Kings were. That's where he got the ranch. And we know that Bill Richardson was a big friend of Jeffrey Epstein's. And we know that he is being credibly accused by Virginia Roberts of taking part in not only enabling Epstein, but of actually abusing the girls as well. So it's not. When you start putting the pieces together, it's not too shocking that the state of New Mexico has no desire to go hard here. Baca confirms that two or more women have told prosecutors in New Mexico they are victims of Epstein, who owns the massive Zorro Ranch in southern Santa fe County. The AG's office began investigating allegations against Epstein in February or March. He says independent from the SDNY investigation. So was it February or was it March? Why do we let them get away with playing word games? We want to know exactly when the investigation started and we want an update on it. We want to know where it is. They'll never do that, though, because really, are they even investigating it? And I know that sounds cynical, right, and borderline conspiratorial, but I just don't have any faith in these governments, in these legal institutions that supposedly are there to protect the most vulnerable amongst us, because they never do. All they do is further the crimes of their buddies who are stuff in their pockets full of money. Epstein, 66, pleaded guilty in Florida to federal sex trafficking charges in 2008. He has not been charged or convicted of any crimes in New Mexico. However, multiple women have alleged that they were sexually victimized as minors at Epstein's ranch here, including the women who came forward this year and are working with Balderas investigators. So again, if you're a Balderas, how don't you open a state investigation? How do you only rely on what the feds are doing? Don't you owe it to the people of your state, the people who appointed you as Attorney General, to pursue justice in their name? Why are you kicking the can down the road? Why are you passing the rock? Meanwhile, State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard on Tuesday handed more than 400 pages of records to Balderas office documenting current and expired state trust land leases with Cypress Incorporated, a Virgin Islands based company that her records show Epstein still owns. He transferred the deed for the ranch to that company in 2013. It comprises about 7,600 acres and completely surrounds a parcel of, of state trust land. Now he, he transferred this for a reason, right? He transferred it over to the Virgin Islands so he'd have more protection in the case of him dying, so he'd have more protection of keeping his property out of the hands of those he abused. That was his goal. This dude was a scumbag till the very last breath, folks. The two agricultural leases on that land total more than 1200 acres. Two active livestock grazing lease contracts date to 1997 and 1999 and were renewed in 2016. An expired livestock contract was signed in 1993. Garcia Richards says in a news release she is reviewing all leases with Cyprus thoroughly for possible lease violations. And we know that she eventually did hit them with a lease violation and they were forced to give that land back. Baca confirms that Balderas office received the documents and is reviewing them. We will definitely incorporate the documents into our review and take into account how the land leases might impact anything that we're looking at or if there's any other action that might be taken out of what they provided, he says, adding that it's too early to say how the leases might impact a state or federal criminal investigation into Epstein. You know, the state of New Mexico, their desire was nothing more than to have this case go away. That is my true belief. And it's unfortunate because Balderas had a chance, him and his office had a real chance to make a difference here. How many of these girls that were abused in Mexico feel like they've been abandoned? How many of these girls who were abused in Mexico, in New Mexico, see that there's no investigation in their state, so they decide to clam up. If my state doesn't even care, why should the federal investigators,

Belderos office reviewing allegations against the one time influential and politically connected financier pedophile, works out of the Special Investigation Division. Baca says investigators in that division have worked on recent high profile cases that resulted in successful prosecutions against former state senator Phil Grigo and former Secretary of State Diana Duran. Yeah, those are low hanging fruit, right? Certainly not powerful like Epstein, certainly not powerful like Bill Richardson. So to try and give their investigation some credibility, what they say is, oh well, the Special Investigations Division's working on this one.

How well did that work out? Did they do anything with that investigation? Did they indict anybody? Was anybody ever brought up on any charges in New Mexico? Oh, no, nobody was right. Epstein chose New Mexico for several reasons. One, he had the political connections there. Two, he didn't have to register as a sex offender there. Three, the Santa Fe Institute was very close and he needed access to his menagerie of scientists, didn't he? And New Mexico is continuing just to beat it, beat to their own drum. Nothing has changed. So the next Jeffrey Epstein out there, why not use the same template? Why not just move to Mexico, buy some land and then do whatever you want? You could talk about seeding the human race, have 10 person orgy showers, bring little girls in and nobody will care because that's basically what the Attorney General's office in New Mexico has said. Meanwhile, I know from experience and I know from my own trips there and discussions with people in New Mexico that the people were want action. Unfortunately, their politicians are obviously bought and paid for. Baca says he doesn't know whether AG's investigators have interviewed Epstein or spoken to anyone with his legal team. Right now we are somewhat of, we are at somewhat of an early investigative stage, he says. Oh yeah, and they've stayed at that early stage. Right. It never got any off the ground to be anything more than, than that investigative stage. And it's laughable at best the way that they've conducted themselves as far as the authorities in New Mexico throughout this whole thing. It's been a sham. It's been embarrassing, honestly. And the fact that they continue to conduct themselves like this is unbelievable, honestly. But we've seen it throughout the whole entire Epstein debacle. We've seen the way the government and the law enforcement agents turn the other cheek. Don't pay attention to what goes on. And we see how it took national pressure after an article was dropped by the Miami Herald to get any action whatsoever kicked in. But here we are all these years later and still we have not seen Zorro Ranch raided and no state investigation. My question is why?
